its a 77 RA23, it was at dubbo this year

its in the middle of an 18rg engine swap, because the 18rc boat anchore decided it play up a lil bit

the RG motor has TRD tuned extractors, off a 2.25" exhaust.

im running 14inch " Performance" brand wheels

its got a SAAS steering wheel and retrimmed back seat in velour, with matching front seats in the garage! lol

its got a lil stereo in it at the moment with some good stereo gear going in the boot once the 18RG is in!
cheers chris

ok well i thought i might put some info in, havent for a little while now so here it goes

some new mods include a new set of rims, 17 x 7.
tyres are
205 by 40 by 17 on the front
235 by 45 by 17 on the rears

also got some sterio gear in the boot now, with an alpine amp and sub.

i should hopefully be getting a new set of interior cards done up with speaker pods and the such pretty soonish as well!

she still drives like a dream, but with the big wheels it gets a little twitchy on the road Smile

Where'd you get this from and how much? If you don't mind me asking. I want to get the GT grille as well, just without the GT written on it Smile

they arnt actually mine to sell unfortunatly,

Crying or Very Sad

so they went off to the wheel factory where they were straightened and back to the original owner with new tyres! Smile

it sucks big time because they dont make that wheel anymore! and they looked pretty good on the old celica!

Re: chris's RA23 now updated! Wed, 21 April 2004 05:09 Go to previous messageGo to next message
pretty steep,

they were 205x40x17 on the front
and 235x40x17 on the rear


so like 260 for the front and 350 for the rear,
but that was for faulken tyres, im sure you can get that size in a cheaper tyre
